Firstly, I feel that by throwing acid in his face, it will allow the people of Iran to understand that for whatever they do, it will have an impact. As the Tehran's deputy public prosecutor, Mahmoud Salarkia, had said, "If this sentence is properly publicised in the media, it will stop the repetition of such incidents," I feel that such will discourage people from being rash and doing things without caring about the consequences. Thus, I feel that I should insist on an eye-for-an-eye justice in order to allow the people of the country to be more disciplined and be more careful.
Secondly, the Qisas principle of sharia law, which means "retaliation" as an Islamic term, follows the principle of an eye for an eye. For that, I should also throw a bucket of acid in his face. I underwent 17 surgeries in Spain, but remains badly disfigured and blind in both eyes. Such an accident happened, just because he was rash and threw acid in my face. I feel that such was a cruel act and should not be pardoned. Thus, I feel that I should not show mercy to my attacker and follow the principle of an eye for an eye. After all, he was taught the same principle, and should know the consequences for such an act.
However, human rights advocates have strongly criticized the punishment. They feel that it is too cruel. Is it right to just follow the Qisas principle and follow the principle of an eye for an eye? I think that it is better to show mercy than justice, and thus it might be better to forgive him. However, I think that such an act should not be pardoned, as this is too much.
In conclusion, I feel that I should insist on an eye-for-an-eye justice. I feel that since I am blinded and disfigured, I should not show mercy to my attacker.This is to ensure more discipline in my country, so that we will have a better and safer place to live in. Thus, I should throw acid in my attacker's face.
Reflections:
I feel that although in this case, the attacker was too much and went on to throw a bucket of acid in her face, I feel that mercy is sometime more important than justice. Imagine a place where justice overrule mercy, and everyone just goes on about justice. Nobody cares about mercy, they just want vengeance if others do something wrong to oneself. Such a case will cause everyone on Earth to be hateful and suspicious of one another, not a single person will trust the person next to him! This is surely not what a world aims to be! Thus, I feel that sometimes, mercy is much more important than justice, and it is also important to forgive than to keep remembering the wrongs of others.
Therefore, we should learn to forgive others if the mistake is not that huge. I feel that teaching the person of what he or her had done wrong is much more important, this way, nobody will be unhappy about it.

I disagree that one should not forgive the attacker. You mentioned above that "I feel that since I am blinded and disfigured, I should not show mercy to my attacker." However, I disagree with you. I think that as long as the attacker had been punished severely and learnt his lesson, he could be forgiven and there is no need to go to such a large extent for retribution so as to blind him. Hatred will only breed more hatred and mercy seasons justice.

I would like to disagree with Tianle and agree with Weihan. Throwing a bucket of acid and disfiguring her face is something very serious, as it is worse than an assault or robbery, but not the extent of murder. Being nice by showing mercy to others will only bring about more trouble for yourself, as people would identify you as an easy target to pick on. Also, by showing mercy, this ingrate will one day back stab right when you least expect it, and rather than live in regret and let others pick on you, take strong firm action. In the modern society, fighting fire with fire is the only way we can eradicate evil, as in order to beat the evil, you must be more evil than them to strike fear into them.
